Mysterio
And Nimrod.
I've stated my reasonings in the discussion thread already.
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
Mysterio. He can't trick Nimrod outright, but he can tell him the holographic projector represents mutant activity somewhere in the world and get him to fly off.
Mysterio - The Wall of China is much too small of a field for Nimrod to work within. Especially since Mysterio can send his robots out to threaten villagers and make them look like mutants in the process. Nimrod's prime directive would cause him to leave the battlefield, he would realize he'd been duped, but it'd be too late. Bubblehead advances.
Nimrod
Nimrod - Nimrod could take the robots out from a distance and I doubt he would be fooled by anything Mysterio comes up with.
Nimrod - Mysterio relies on manipulating human perception. Nimrod isn't human. He could just switch to infared vision or some shit.
Nimrod- Illusions and tricks won't work on a robot. Nimrod would see through all the tricks, and at the end of the day this is a fight between a regular human and a robot death machine.
Nimrod: As much as I'd like to see Mysterio win, I'd say the odds are in favour of cold, calculating robot logic.
Nimrod - His robot brain does not need beer. Nor is it going to be tricked by Mysterio's little ploys.
Mysterio
Take that.
Nimrod - I'm really in disbelief of the people that said that Mysterio would win this one. Even current tech such as night vision and heat vision can spot Mysterio through the illusion - why wouldn't Nimrod have at least the equivalent as standard target seeking protocols? And as for Mysterio's EM Disruptor beam, Nimrod's systems allow him to project magnetic energies as well, so it can be assumed that he is hardened to negate that beam. Nimrod for the easy win.
Nimrod - Basically what's been said already Mysterio can mess with humans something fierce but i don't think he can trick a robot.
2nd match: Nimrod. I can't see any of Mysterio's illusions working on a walking supercomputer from the future. Once you get past the illusions, Mysterio's just a normal dude in a really gay hat.
Nimrod, because there's no way the illusions will fool him, and he's extremely adaptive.
Nimrod - Illusions being projected by a normal human, against a walking supercomputer with an adaptable arsenal of weapons to suit most any occasion? Suuuuuure.
Situation excellent. I am attacking.
- General Ferdinand Foch
with a heavy heart the second match up would go to Nimrod
God I want to say Mysterio, but anyway you cut it this match is just unfair, sure he has some robots that he can make look to be like mutants, but nimrod has scanners up the wazoo to prevent such trickery.
At least we might get a gang fight pile up of mysterio-bots swarming nimrod...which would always be amusing.
Mysterio. No, Michael, it's an illusion.
Nimrod: Mysterio is awesome but Nimrod gives entire teams of x-men trouble.
Mysterio: Manipulative jerk + mines = pain. Who says you can't learn anything from video games?
I think, whoever loses, the chinese people win this match.
Nimrod
